i'm curious what you think we know about these different kind of masks. There are cloth masks that are like that gaiter, the thing tha people might wear over their face,. There are the 90 fives, which are hard shell, plastick kind of thing and they're also the n 95 knock offs. And then there's this thing that comes in a box. It looks like something you would see in a medical ward. So i see a lot of people wearing as if they are in armour, and i don't make fun of them, but i often observe that i worry that it's aform a theatre.
